So I just finished my Cole "Renegayde" Shepard playthrough today, and now I can truly say I have become a Kaidan fangirl.
It's strange - Kaidan is not even my type - but I think I know why. Out of all the romances, Kaidan's felt the most real, the most like a relationship you'd actually have in real life. (Also, he's the most normal and well-adjusted of all the ME companions.) Garrus' romance is good, but it's more of a fantasy romance, where there are never any problems or differences and the couple is always at peace with each other.
It helped that Kaidan and Cole just meshed so well together, even though they were on different ends of the Paragon/Renegade scale. I like to think that Kaidan nudged Cole into being more diplomatic/open-minded while Cole helped Kaidan understand that sometimes the only right option wasn't always the nicest one. They balance each other out (though I imagine they butted heads a bit when they first met!).
And now... I just had the scene where Kaidan's made to go back to the Normandy while Cole has to venture forth alone into the Citadel beam. That "I love you..." I felt like my heart was about to shatter into pieces.
I just... I really felt for Kaidan. It's especially sad considering that their romance started in ME3, so Kaidan watched Cole leave him while thinking that it was the last time.
(Luckily it wasn't, because Cole picked Destroy, and I headcanon that, after they helped rebuild Earth's civilisation, they moved to a nice place in Vancouver, retired from the Alliance Navy, got married and became teachers for biotic students.)
But enough of my ramblings. My point is that I can't stop feeling for Kaidan so much, and so I have to admit to all of you that I am a Kaidan Alenko fangirl.
Let's hope he gets a cameo in Andromeda.
